Great Value! This set comes with an extended figure of eight of track - with a bridge cross over rather than a flat cross, enabling higher speeds, plus two full-detail Ferraris - a 360 and a 550 with magnet downforce.
Key features: C3 Figure of Eight with bridge, Magnetic Downforce, Ferrari cars etc etc.
Really good value and this set will run ANY make of car - Scalextric, SCX, Carrera, Ninco etc etc. Includes: 1 transformer, 2 hand throttles, 7 straight (350mm) tracks, 2 straight (175mm) tracks, 10 barriers, 10 standard curves, 1 grand chicane and 2 bridge supports WHAT IS SCX? SCX is European Scalextric. In Spain, some parts of France, parts of Germany, if you buy a set that says SCALEXTRIC on the box, this is what you get. We are selling UK SPECIFICATION SCX sets - these have a proper UK transformer and English instructions. NEW IDEA? No, we've been selling and supporting this range for almost 10 years. In general we have less technical problems with SCX and we find our customers like the quality feel of the system, it's controllers and the high grip track.
HOW COME HORNBY LET THEM MAKE THIS? This is an SCX Scalextric set made by Technitoys of Spain under a design/license share set up with Scalextric many years ago, dating back to when there was a link between the two firms. It is completely Classic Scalextric compatible, and many would argue that SCX sets are actually higher spec than comparable Scalextric sets - to expand the set use either SCX track or Classic Scalextric track. Can be fitted directly to all pre-sport Scalextric tracks as an extension.
IS THIS TRACK AVAILABLE STILL? Yes! SCX are still actively developing this track system and fully support it worldwide with both accessories and loose track. We keep the full range available - and it's a BIT CHEAPER than the Scalextric track. I WANT TO BUY EXTRA CARS - CAN I? Yes, SCX is 100% Scalextric compatible when it comes to cars - you can run SCX cars, Scalextric cars, Ninco Cars, Carrera cars - it doesn't matter what make you buy, they're all good. Age guide: This set is recommended for ages 8 and over. It is NOT suitable for younger children as the cars go too fast and will come off at every corner unless driven very carefully (which under 8's generally cannot do).
